The Gauteng ANC’s authority structure kicked out the previous MEC for health, Qedani Mahlangu. She and Brian Hlongwa were requested to withdraw as members of the provincial executive committee. However, she retains her membership of the ANC.
Mahlangu has been blamed for the death of 144 Life Esidimeni patients.
Brian Hlongwa was allegedly involved in corruption of R1,2 billion. Hlongwa resigned in October as a whip in the ANC legislature.
Political observers believe there are many other members of the party who have to be kicked out of their positions.
